Session type: 45 min talk

Session level: Intermediate

Is testing in production always a bad practice? Although we work hard to deliver the best quality products to end users, we tend to avoid quality verification in production phase and limit our testing efforts to test/dev environments. During this talk we’ll explore various techniques of safe and efficient production testing with involvement of end users. We we’ll walk through real-live examples of solutions and test architecture used by industry leaders. We’ll learn how to take advantage of distributed architecture, provide test isolation, gather end-users feedback and assure high-availability of the software.

Key take-aways:

why is testing in production an essential part of testing in distributed system architecture

how and why industry leaders test in production

real-live examples of assuring safe isolation while testing in production environments

what is continuous testing in the context of testing in production

how to gather valuable feedback from production users with minimum risk

how to assure high-availability when system failure’s already happened
